morality legislation agenda pbs special

[iftsiga]

I expect this to depress me this evening, even if it doesn't cover anything I don't already know.

+It's on PBS stations anywhere, you can look up showtimes in your area. Should be repeated tomorrow many places. It's short, mostly about South Dakota. Apparently there are some web only bits at http://www.pbs.org/now/ ...The interviewer seems to be restraining herself mightily from giving the smug sanctimonious head of the abstinence education movement a slap with a shoe. ++Alas, there are no "desirious of shoe-slapping" confessions at the website, but there are broader things covered than the televised bit was able to do.

I agree. Specifically, sexual morality being dictated by anyone who tries to use the bible as a model is a huge laugh (as well as frightening). So where do the patriarchs with the big harems fit in? are we stoning prostitutes or just flimsily denying that one was an apostle in those chapters they neatly excised?

I haven't seen TP. So, it's not JUST a nasty bit of sadomasochistic gratuitousness, it's got ugly anti-Semitism too? splendid.
